Some help Setting Value to an array

I cant seem to get this right. I believe I am setting the array value correctly. The count starts at 0 so the 3rd value would be [2]. I believe I am calling the variable correctly? I dont think I fully understand what its asking then.

CodeChallenge.cs 
double[] lapTimes = new double[4];
lapTimes[0]=2.2;
double[] finalLapTimes={2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8};
double lap3;
finalLapTimes[2]=lap3;

You are doing the opposite of what the challenge is asking. It asks you to set the lap3 variable equal to the third value in the finalLapTimes array, whereas you are setting the third value of the finalLapTimes array equal to the value of lap3 (which happens to be completely empty).

To fix it just remove your last line and assign the value stored in "finalLapTimes[2]" to the lap3 variable.
